Retired Willowbrook Art Department Head featured on WGN-TV

Retired Willowbrook Art Department Head Robert Lee Fritz was recently featured on WGN-TV. He was highlighted for his free-blown glass company.

Fritz has worked with glass since 1971, and when he established his studio in Lombard, he became Chicago area’s first independent hot glass artist. He specializes in creating hand-blown crystal paperweights, vases and sculptures, on which he carves silhouettes of cranes (the symbol of long life and good fortune), herons and other Midwestern birds.
